Last year, the Trump Media and Technology Group announced Truth Predict, a partnership with the cryptocurrency company Crypto.com. The initial announcement touted Truth Predict as a “new product” that would allow Truth Social users to make trades on sports, inflation, elections, and more through an “embedded” prediction market service. “For too long, global elites have closely controlled these markets—with Truth Predict, we’re democratizing information and empowering everyday Americans to harness the wisdom of the crowd, turning free speech into actionable foresight,” then-CEO Devin Nunes said in the October 2025 press release.

At the time, the company detailed how Truth Social users would be able to convert the platform’s existing “Truth gem” currency into Cronos cryptocurrency tokens, and then “apply” them to Truth Predict trades.
